- Contractors are segregated from the rest of the full-time staff, making any transition into full-time hood much more arduous and unlikely. Contactors do not have the access to gym, nice kitchens, catered foods that full-timers have.- Management makes a frequent point out of firing employees. Numbers not to their liking? Well why not just gut half of the staff and hire new people on the assumption that this might roll the dice in their favor.- Have seen people give their two weeks notice, a courtesy, and then get fired shortly after.- Employees in higher positions are often moved down and required, for months, to do frustrating tasks that they did not apply for in the first place. They are then placed in the hotseat when they complain about this.- No health care and no comp for sick days. MLK and similar national holidays are not given off. No paid leave on Holidays like Christmas.- Poor company culture, most employees afraid of upsetting someone with the power to fire them. The friendly, talkative ones are often the first to go. General disdain for company.- Contractors are fired at night, after a full days work and with no advance notice; often this comes independent of their performance, and are just the management trying to 'shake things up'.- Weekly meetings review the numbers for the staff in awkward public fashion. If someone is struggling, show them respect and talk with them one on one.- Promotions and additional responsibilities like Team Lead are given out, but often not as a full raise with no additional pay or benefits.- The entire model for contractors seems exploitative. I advise anyone I can to avoid this place entirely.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Treat the contractors like you would your full-time employees and you may actually get some amount of respect and loyalty from them. Perhaps if you need to fire most of your staff every several months the problem is you, not them.
